School graduation, sad times!! B-1 returns to save the day!!!

With everything that's been going down in Japan the past few weeks my schools end of year graduation passed by without too much celebration. In fact I almost forgot it happened, well, not quite.

We held it on March 15th only a few days after the earthquake and tsunami, so everyone was still really on edge about the whole situation, aftershocks were still hitting pretty much hourly and the threat of the Fukushima nuclear power plant going up in smoke was very real. So understandably the huge graduation ceremony we have every year for the oldest year was cut short. It was such a shame because so much preparation goes into this. From the kids practicing the formalities of recieving their certificate and singing their song, to the parents putting on a big show, as well as tearful video montages from the kids.

But alas we only had the formalities of the certificate giving, as well as the speeches, all the songs, and the class photos outside. We did have a few aftershocks hit during everything but only small tremors, and this being Japan everyone ignored them, they didn't exist. But of course it was still so so sad, knowing you're seeing around 60+ of your best friends for the last time. WOE!! And that's what they are, my best little mates, I love them so much I could burst.

The best part of the day was after all the formalities were taken care of and the parents are having lunch and just staying around the school, it's a time I use to say goodbye to everyone and wish them the best of luck at elementary school, and of course take a lot of photos with everyone. I managed to fit in a five minute last game of football with the boys and game of tag with the girls. Some of the girls wanted the flower on my suit so had a jan ken show down for it. FOR MY LOVE!!...

How can you not adore these faces!!

And that was graduation, short and sad. I have two weeks of spring holiday before the new year starts where I get to meet a whole new gang of awesome guys and girls. During the holiday some of the kids come to school for nursary, which is basically just a hangout while their parents are at work. But it does mean I get to hangout with some of my favorite graduated kids for a bit longer. I guess on Friday I will have to say goodbye to them for real, but the new year shall be fun fun fun, so no need to be sad.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day <3

Those are some sweet mother fucking photos!!
